Bo'a Beach (Pantai Bo'a) is a white-sand beach on the western coast of Rote Island in Rote Barat District, Rote Ndao Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Facing the Indian Ocean, it is internationally known for its consistent surf break, including the outer reef break called T-Land. The beach features clear turquoise water, wide sandy shoreline and relatively undeveloped surroundings, attracting surfers, beach visitors and photographers seeking a natural coastal setting.

Visitors can expect a long stretch of white sand bordered by clear turquoise water and low coastal vegetation on the west coast of Rote Island. The beach is wide and relatively quiet, with an open Indian Ocean outlook, consistent waves and an offshore reef break visible from shore. Facilities are basic with small warungs and nearby homestays. Areas to explore include the sandy shoreline for walking and sunbathing, viewpoints for sunset, and the surf zone which is the main focus for experienced surfers.

The beach lies in the traditional area of the Rote people, known for their ikat weaving, lontar palm traditions and distinctive music (sasando). The coastal area reflects local fishing and seaweed farming livelihoods and is part of the cultural landscape of Rote Barat.
